Well, it could have been worse! -which is the mantra of a mom of little ones I think!reminded me of a long, long time ago...when I sewed at the kitchen table, I got up to do something and left the machine on and a very little person crawled under the table and just had the best time playing with the foot pedal....I remember a scream (from me) and a long time getting the machine unjammed and working again.

Makes me remember Christmas vacation when my two year old grandson managed to get hold of applique scissors during naptime. He cut lots of slits in the front of his shirt, and he cut a hole in the side of his pack-n-play. I was so relieved he hadn't cut himself!

You guys make me laugh! Yes, this is the same Sharpie artist and a few days before I found him with the rotary cutter and a recently finished quilt block. Fortunately he wasn't at an angle where he could push hard enough and fortunately he didn't turn it on himself.

This is the first of my kids to exhibit this kind of "creative energy". I think I'm going to have another Van Gogh one day.

My 4 year old tried to "fix" my serger. She had a screwdriver in hand and loosened everything she could in what I swear was 2 minutes. I tried so hard not to yell or cry at her. But I had a good cry later when the professionals said there was nothing more they could do to make it work right after having it for 3 months. Children are embodiments of the chaos theory, albeit cute ones.
